Pujari, Bimmy Oct. 1, 2020, 2:05 a.m. UTC
From: Bimmy Pujari <bimmy.pujari@intel.com>

The existing bpf helper functions to get timestamp return the time
elapsed since system boot. This timestamp is not particularly useful
where epoch timestamp is required or more than one server is involved
and time sync is required. Instead, you want to use CLOCK_REALTIME,
which provides epoch timestamp. Hence adding a new helper
bfp_ktime_get_real_ns() based around CLOCK_REALTIME.
